“Good morning, Sir,” the two staff stammered.

Felix replied with a nod and soon he was walking faster towards his office.

There he already saw Claire setting up his desk.

“Good morning, Sir!” Claire greeted as usual but the man strangely did not reply.

Claire frowned and started to get a little flustered but she tried to act casual as if Felix was ignoring her.

“Would you like some coffee now, Sir?” Claire asked.

Felix replied, “No.”

He walked over to his desk and then sat down for a few minutes but eventually stood back up.

Claire watched in surprise.

“Andrew, get the car ready!” Felix ordered.

Claire was of course surprised by the order but she saw that Andrew said nothing and just did as he was told.

What was going on?

However, as soon as Andrew walked out of the room, Claire quickly asked, “Sir, are you leaving?”

“Why do you ask?”

Claire blinked because she felt that her boss had amnesia that she was his personal secretary who had to know his schedule so that if they had guests la

    Seeing the way Claire looked at him uncomfortably made Felix even more annoyed. “It's not in the contract, but you can't just do whatever you want,” Felix said.Claire was of course even more confused but then Felix, who had already said something he shouldn't have said, said again, “Remember you still have dependents that you haven't resolved with the financial issue.”Claire was surprised when the matter was brought up but because she did not want to add to the problem she could only say, “Yes, Sir. I will solve that problem immediately.”She then excused herself and hurried going to Sherly's room.“What's wrong with you?” Shirley asked, her former boss who was actually quite friendly with her.“Ma’am, can't I just go back to my original job?” Sherly was wide-eyed, “What do you mean, you want to be an assistant manager again?”“Yes, ma'am.”Sherly clucked her tongue and gave Claire a strange look as she said, “Claire.

    Desta quickly got out of the car with Claire staring at her boss with an astonished look.“What's wrong, Sir?” Claire asked.Felix did not answer Claire's question and instead looked at Desta with a displeased look.“Is there a problem?” Now it was Desta who was asking Felix.The 27-year-old man was also neatly dressed and no less cool than Felix. In addition to Desta's charming appearance, Desta's face was also very handsome. In addition, his work was also very good. Felix could also see it from one glance, so Felix was even more annoyed by it.Felix smiled wryly at the man and then spoke, “This is not the area where outsiders go up and down.”“Huh?” Claire was surprised.Desta was still waiting for the man he guessed was Claire's boss to speak further so he could know how to behave.“From now on vehicles that are not guests of this resort are prohibited from entering this area.” Felix said in a cold tone and looked sharply at Desta.Claire, who did not accept her boss's words, sai

    And throughout that day, Ludwig really felt like he couldn't concentrate on his own company because his brain was wandering all over the place.He also couldn't focus on some of the projects he was working on until he finally closed the file he had opened.

    Felix Homann felt like he was seeing a ghost. He had a hard time believing what he was seeing. But strangely he was even more intrigued by the scene in front of him and ended up concentrating fully on observing the two from some distance away.Despite being on opposite sides of the room, he felt very fortunate to be able to see from his seat through the clear glass that looked directly across.The glass could see outward but not inward, which was very advantageous for Felix.He saw Claire painstakingly cleaning the boy's mouth and chatting cheerfully with Sean several times.“Unbelievable,” Felix muttered under his breath.“Sean is Claire's son? But how can she have a child?” he said, increasingly clueless.His head was suddenly throbbing and he was even more confused by the information he had just gotten.It was not accurate data but direct information that she had seen with her own eyes. Obviously it was a well-established fact.“Claire is married? But to whom?”“Did she get married

    Andrew was silent and didn't dare say a word when he heard his master's curse.Felix wanted to get out of his car and demand an explanation for Claire's lies.However, Andrew, who seemed to know his master's intentions, quickly said, “Sir, you can't go there, because if they know you're following them, it won't be good for your reputation.”Felix tried hard to restrain himself and exhaled repeatedly. He was finally able to regain his composure after many attempts.“Then, why did Sean say that he never met his father? Is it possible that little boy lied to me too?” Before Andrew could say anything, he heard Felix say again, “Wow! Did Claire teach him to lie too? Unbelievable!”Felix clapped his hands in exasperation.“This is what makes me so reluctant to deal with little kids, because they are manipulative and no one can be trusted,” Felix said in exasperation.Before his boss's anger could get the better of him, Andrew tried to open Felix's mind by saying, “Sir, a child can never lie

    "My friends at daycare, Mom." The boy answered so innocently that Claire was even more annoyed at the boys who had said that to her son.How could children Sean's age think like that?In her heart she cursed at the parents who could not teach their children to have decency so that they would not say things that hurt others like what had just happened.Not wanting to discourage her son further, Claire tried to encourage him by saying, "Honey, that's not true at all. Your dad didn't leave you at all. He ... he just left because he had business in a very far place."In the end, this was the explanation Claire chose in the hope that her son would easily understand."Where did he go, Mom?" Sean asked again.Desta, who saw the scene, felt even more guilty because he was the one who had started the topic so that it would trouble Claire.Now he realized how difficult it was to be a single mother who had to perform multiple roles for the sake of her child.Had he not fallen in love with Haruka

It doesn't matter."Haruka herself was even more relieved that she had confessed her true feelings to Desta and went home quite cheerful.Although she also felt like she was missing Desta, it wasn't fair to Desta for the relationship to continue. It was obvious that she couldn't be loyal to Desta and it would make their relationship unhealthy."How come you're not with Desta?"

    Love?That one word came back to Felix's heart.Andrew who saw the confusion and shock in Felix's eyes understood it very well.Of course, for as long as he had known Felix Homann, the man had never once had those feelings for a woman.A woman was just a bedmate to him. Felix treated them all in the same way, just like someone who had helped him with his sexual problems. Never once had he favored a woman. Only Claire. The one who had kept him on edge for years, whom he had only met for a few hours. "Sir, if you're still doubting your own feelings, you might want to try one thing," Andrew said, trying to make a suggestion.Felix replied without turning his head, "What?""You might try secretly bringing Claire to your bed."Felix's face hardened instantly, "Are you crazy? She'll kill me on the spot if she finds out." Andrew explained, "Sir, I understand. But, this will really help you to know whether you are really in love with Claire or not." "I don't understand. What do you mean?"

    "No, I don't. Of course I don't hate you. I just ... just ....""Just what?" Felix demanded.Claire wasn't sure how to explain it properly but she tried not to offend Felix."Look ... you can still do all your responsibilities to Sean without marrying me."Felix shook his head firmly, "I can't.""What do you mean you can't?" Claire asked as she was getting confused.Felix was also at a loss as to how to explain it.He could not possibly tell Claire that he not only wanted to be Sean's legal father but also wanted to be her husband.This was because he knew with certainty that Claire would not believe him.Claire would even think he was crazy for liking her in such a short time.So, Felix tried to rack his brains and reply to her, "It won't be the same. I want to be her father every day, all the time. I want to keep her near me and I ... want to take responsibility for what I've done to you in the past."This of course made Claire even more surprised. Why would he say that? Claire won

Her efforts were destroyed, aka nothing but Claire's departure.She never wanted that to happen to her. In fact, at that time her family openly asked her to indirectly replace Claire.She was asked to become Claire. She was required to learn so many things that she herself was not sure she had the freedom to do anything.However, after all that she luckily got a reply that put a big smile on her face."The Beyer Family is asking us for a favor." Christine said one evening."Their company is in crisis and only we can help them," Christine continued as she looked at all her family members.Henry of course knew this because he was the one who was consulted by the Beyer family."But, I have made one condition if they want to be helped," Henry said.Jasmine, who wasn't interested in the matter at all, didn't really listen and just concentrated on her dinner.However, when suddenly th

    "Yes, Ma'am. We understand," the men said in unison. Even Jason, though reluctantly, replied to the manager.Shirley then dismissed them and the staff returned to their respective workplaces.That left Jason and Elena, a staff member who was now also Shirley's subordinate. The girl still couldn't accept Shirley's words and looked upset about it but she tried to suppress it."Isn't she the one who looks strange? No?" Elena asked Jason.Jason nodded his head quickly, "It looks like she doesn't really like this news.""Yes. Why would he not like it if his single subordinate could now be in a relationship with a superior at this resort?" Jason snorted when he heard Elena's question.The man did not expect Elena to be a very innocent girl who would not suspect anyone.Yet in her eyes, Shirley's manner of speaking was very clear. Her actions reflected Shirley's dislike for Claire.But Jason was still kind enough to explain, "Ms. Shirley most likely also likes Mr. Felix or at least has a c

    Before Felix could begin answering Claire's questions, the doctor who was treating Sean came back out of the room and met the two anxious people."Sean has passed the critical period and will now be transferred to the hospitalization room soon," the doctor said.Claire breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing the good news. Felix couldn't help but feel relieved as he hurriedly said to the doctor, "Thank you for saving Sean, Doc."Felix rarely said those words, but this time he felt he had to. All this was of course for his son's sake."No need to thank me, it's my job to save all patients."Felix nodded politely at the doctor. Claire said the same thing. Felix then told a nurse standing next to the doctor, "Please, move my son to the best room in the hospital."The nurse replied with an obedient nod.My son.
